With just a few days remaining in Nassau County Legislature Deputy Minority Leader Arnold W. Drucker’s (D - Plainview) fourth annual winter coat drive for the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless, supporters are urged to bring their donations to the Syosset and Jericho Libraries, as well as Syosset-based Always Orthodontics prior to the drive’s Monday, Dec. 22 conclusion.
Until that date, donors are invited to drop off new and gently used winter coats and winter accessories (gloves, hats, scarves, etc.) during normal business hours at the Syosset Public Library, 225 S. Oyster Bay Road, Syosset, N.Y. 11791; the Jericho Public Library, 1 Merry Lane, Jericho N.Y. 11753; and Always Orthodontics, 485 Underhill Blvd., Suite 306, Syosset, N.Y. 11791.
“The wonderfully generous response to our fourth annual winter coat drive has truly warmed my heart – and it motivates me even more to do everything within our power to help deserving families throughout our region this holiday season,” Deputy Minority Leader Drucker said. “Please join us in wrapping our neighbors with the comfort, safety and love that is embodied by the donation of a winter coat or other cold-weather essentials at one of our community drop-off sites before Dec. 22 – and let’s make a difference together!”
“The Long Island Coalition for the Homeless is deeply grateful to Legislator Arnold Drucker and his team for organizing this coat drive in support of our neighbors in need,” said Greta Guarton, LMSW, Executive Director for the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless. “Thanks to their leadership and the generosity of his constituents, the coats collected will be distributed throughout the winter season to help Long Islanders stay warm. We are proud to partner with Legislator Drucker’s Office in this important effort.”
Anyone interested in supporting the coat drive can contact Deputy Minority Leader Drucker’s office at 516-571-6216 or adrucker@nassaucountyny.gov for details.
